I can tell you exactly how every one of those truck owners and the anglers on March 5th vote. Their sense of freedom causes emergency workers to risk their lives. They all should be required to wear dunce caps.
I ice fish lakes ponds where my walk from shore is around 100-150 yards or less. I love still water damn in Pa that place is typically very safe ice and I start my tipups about 25-50 yards from shore and can see everything from the car parked safely on the ground or boat ramp area.
It looks like they were able to park there by the thickness of the ice but the thing is too many vehicles together that ice is going to break Lol there was definitely no common sense used in that 1
A vehicle driving on the ice pushes a wake (wave) ahead of it which will break the ice when it reaches another vehicle. The wave will also bounce off the shore and return to the vehicle and sink it.
its been worse on the wisconsin side 2 weeks ago there was like 30 trucks all lined up like a parking lot i just ride by on my 4 wheeler waiting to see the show of idiots i swear people are getting dumber every year
somebody should invent pontoons for vehicles like inflatable raft. Then if the ice gives way, the car/truck would be floating. At worst you'd have to wait for the spring thaw and tow it to shore
